I need to make rolls...

I need to make rolls...

We are going to tailgate this weekend and I am making a crabmeat salad. I need a recipe for rolls to put the salad on. I did use a bread bowl recipe and they turned out good, but just tossing it out there for any other ideas. Thanks.

I am a stickler about bread. All the bread here in KY is too white and too soft. I am used to artisan breads from the north (NJ, NY). The kaiser rolls look good on this site, might try them. I had some issues with yeast in the beginning, didn't know what it was supposed to do or look like during the proofing. Had bad yeast, now I know.

This site has helped me, a new baker, tremendously. Feel free to send on some roll recipes, if you have a favorite. I would appreciate it. Off to toss some flour in the kitchen. Thanks.

Combine all of the ingredients and mix and knead to form an elastic, slightly sticky dough. Allow the dough to rise in a lightly greased bowl until it's almost doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.Turn the dough onto a lightly floured or lightly oiled work surface. Divide it into 16 pieces, and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls in a lightly greased 11 x 11-inch pan or into two 8- or 9-inch round pans. Cover and allow to rise for about 1 hour, until very puffy.

Bake the buns in a preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 24 minutes, until they're lightly browned. Remove from the oven and brush with melted butter if desired (for a soft crust). Enjoy warm or cold. Yield: sixteen 2 1/2-inch buns.
